Ingredients:  
Extra virgin olive oil or vegetable oil
1 1/4 pound slice of bone-in beef shank with a lot of meat (or 1 pound of stew beef)
1 large onion, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
8 cups beef broth or beef stock
4 large beets (about 1 1/2 pounds), cubed
4 carrots (1 lb), peeled, chopped
1-2 large russet potato, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 cups thinly sliced cabbage
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
3 tablespoons white or red wine vinegar
1 cup sour cream
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions:
Directions:
In a large soup pot or Instant Pot: heat oil, add meat and brown. Add onions, beets, cabbage and carrots and cook about 5 minutes. Pour broth over meat and veggies, bring to a boil, then turn down heat to a simmer and let cook until meat is tender/falling off the bone. About an hour and a half. Remove any bones. Chop meat into bite sized pieces as needed. (I use kitchen shears for this - much easier with hot meat). Add potatoes and cook an additional 15 minutes. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of dill. Better the second day. Hearty, rich and warm. Yummiest served with warm rye, pumpernickel, or sourdough bread.
